An Angel and a King

Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, two legends who both died on June 25, 2009, will each have its own Vanity Fair cover in September. An editor of the magazine said, “Two covers seemed like the sensible thing to do, given the passing of two major American icons on the same day.” The Jackson cover has a 1989 Annie Leibovitz photograph of the pop star, and Fawcett’s photo was done by Julian Wasser in 1976. Both photographers captured the public personas of the superstars, with Jackson’s androgynous looks and introspective demeanor, and Fawcett’s zest for life with her incredible smile and long, lustrous hair. On the magazine covers they are referred to as the “Fallen King” and “Fallen Angel”, respectively.

The magazine was photographed at Kramerbooks & Afterwords in Washington, D.C.
